Allow me to add to the laughs about this thread title based entirely on one blogger putting an Andaz above the FS properties in Hawaii. I think our OP is playing a joke on us or the last laugh may be with us?
First, one state or region does not an entire brand make. FS is probably growing too fast. And FS in Hawaii isn’t as strong as elsewhere. But the same can be said for many if not all of the hotels in Hawaii. While I think FS is overrated by most herein, FS still is an excellent luxury brand overall.
Second, there is no universe where the Andaz Maui is the most luxurious hotel in Hawaii. Period.
Third, rinse and repeat. Andaz Maui certainly is better than Miavana. Right, @
MacMyDay?
